Can a plastic surgeon fix a hernia if one is found during a tummy tuck procedure?

Yes, it is quite common for patients to have a tummy tuck with a hernia repair. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss.

Dear Ms. Krista,Thank you for your story and questions. Unfortunately with out photos and a exam of your tissues I can can only comment based your story, however I hope you find my comments helpful.Some Plastic Surgeons have completed a General Surgery Residency as well as a Plastic Surgery Residency and can repair the hernia and diastasis together.I suggest you make several consultative appointments with different experienced Plastic Surgeons who are qualified to repair abdominal hernias and who are Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who are ideally members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes, R.

Thank you for your question.  Small, incidental hernias are encountered during tummy tucks and most plastic surgeons feel comfortable in repairing them at the time of a tummy tuck.  Larger hernias may need to involve a general surgeon, but this is less common.  Hope this helps.
